Kelem Ethiopia and its partners are supporting drought-affected students in eight rural primary schools in Kalu Woreda through daily nutritious school meals.
The School Feeding Project provides meals to 3,713 children, helping reduce hunger, improve concentration, and create a supportive environment for learning.
The project promotes Nifro, a culturally familiar meal made from boiled corn, beans, and iodized salt. By using locally sourced food, community participation, and existing school resources, the initiative offers a cost-effective approach to addressing children’s nutritional needs while supporting sustainable local food systems.
The project also indirectly benefits 1,237 parents and 143 teachers, contributing to child health, household food security, educational performance, and community resilience.
Through this initiative, Kelem Ethiopia and its partners are working to nourish children, support learning, and strengthen communities affected by drought.
Nutritious meals. Better learning. Stronger communities.
